I've got to agree that these things are largely worthless. They are more of a political event and sideshow than anything else.
The candidates are pretty much always "way more qualified" to interpret the law than the politicians that vote on them (especially non-lawyer politicians).
What's worse is that this process has become a "Made for TV" event, and people that have no clue and no training, in interpreting and applying case law, form an opinion based on politicians and political commentators rhetoric. How stupid is that?
It's sort of like being a doctor, and having someone that's read health articles and seen commercials, make judgements about your ability to practice in your field. My biggest peeve here are the drug company commercials that basically instruct people to tell their doctors what drugs to prescribe for them.
If "qualified to interpret case Law" qualifies one to arrive at erroneous, even blind decisions, Then so be it .I'll be the judge of that because I am a juror.
